US Sprinter Noah Lyles Delivered A Clueless, Asinine Rant About How He Fucking Hates The NBA Declaring Themselves 'World Champs'

I have no idea what Lyles was trying to get at here. I'm not sure if he's just trying to help the track world by saying it's a world competition, but what do you want the NBA to do? Not decalre themselves world champs? Fine. I dare any of the European or whoever else to send their champ to come play against the Nuggets. The NBA champs in a meaningful game will win. That's just a stone cold fact. Same goes for the NFL. 

Naturally, all the NBA players decided to respond via social media

No one is taking anything away from Lyles. He's elite. He's one of the best sprinters in the world, not just the US. But I don't get this rant. Laugh out loud how all these NBA guys are pissed and Aaron Gordon just says he's going to smoke him in the 200 meters. Dude won a ring, for sure still drunk with Jokic in Serbia and fired that off as people are legit mad. You know what? After you win a title, do whatever the hell you want. 

But come on, what are we doing here? This is one of the most asinine things I've ever heard. There are no flags in the NBA? Yeah, because there are teams. Oh and let's not forget that the international players are on those teams. We're not talking about Jokic and Serbia taking on the Nuggets. We're talking about his old team Mega Basket taking on the Nuggets. It's a step above saying Alabama would beat the worst NFL team back in the day. 

Consider this blog an official challenge for any European team to come over and play the Nuggets in a best of 7. Let's just settle this now and prove Lyles had one of the single dumbest comments of all time.
